Gifs

Gifs have become popular thanks to social media and because of this they are more popular in creation and in usage by the younger (30-) generation. A Gif can be described as a picture that moves or a even a micro clip. Usage of a gif can be used to express an emotion or make a joke in a amusing manner. For Twitter, it is usually to make a relation to something that occurred with the user. While for Tumbr, gifs are used for making jokes or statements. Overall the animating affect of gifs makes an interactive voice rather a stationary piece.
